Hi all,
As stated I'm a newbie photographer packing a Nikon D3100 which I recently treat myself to and am working hard to learn the ins and outs of photography.
I only have the standard 18-55mm lens that came with the camera and am looking to buy a second lens to carry around.
Now my initial impression was to get a lens with a better zoom i.e. the Nikon AF-S 55-300mm f4.5-5.6 G ED VR Lens - DX Format.
I thought it would be good to take to some footy matches and so on.

However I'm not looking to take any particular kind of shots and in fact I will probably just be out and about walking on my own whilst practicing resulting in plenty of landscape shots.
Can anyone please advise or recommend what type of lens I should be looking to add to my collection bearing in mind I do not take any particular kind of photos right now, I'm just learning. Instead of the 55-300mm is it possible that I should instead be looking at something to offer me wider angle shots i.e. Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX DC HSM Nikon fit lens?

I will only be looking to get one lens right now and don't want to really go beyond this price range hence the lenses with the better f ranges are probably out my price range.
Any advice where to go next is highly appreciated - thank you!
